Equal representation explained: a plan to balance votes by enlarging constituencies and using a simple one‑vote system.
This edition lays out a concrete approach to redistributing seats so each vote weighs roughly the same, even as populations differ across towns and counties.
The work argues that larger constituencies better reflect overall equality, while preserving local government structure. It also defends a straightforward voting rule—one elector, one vote—for clarity and fairness. The author discusses how town and county areas would be treated, addressing concerns about centers of local life and the role of bye-elections in signaling public opinion.
